The Official Bernard Hopkins vs. Joe Calzaghe Poll/Prediction Thread

[Ironside]

This thread doesn't seem as successful as the first one eh TRUTH.

[Truth]

^Ironside PM bigpoppa and tell him to close the other one. I tried Pming him and I don't think he got it yet. Thats why this one isn't doing good because the other one is still open.

[Method]

Hopkins by UD.

Too complete for Calzaghe's amateurish, European style.

The straight right hand(s) down the pike while Calzaghe wings, and the short, accurate hook(s) and upper(s) to counter will cause Calzaghe fits.

Calzaghe's footwork and balance/stance are bad. That, coupled with Hopkins' superior movement/footwork/ring generalship will give Calzaghe a look he has never ever seen before. Bernard will clinch/maul and get rough when he needs to, and his in-fighting skills are superior to Joe Cal's.

Furthermore, Bernard's defense is not only better than Joe's, but it's a defensive look the likes of which Joe has never faced.

Bernard has the uncanny ability to take your best weapons away from you.

Work rate is Joe's best attribute, and we have seen Bernard take that away from fighters already (See Holmes, Trinidad, Taylor, Wright, Tarver)

I really think Bernard has the more complete game here, and he's going to be ready with plans A, B and C. Age will not be a factor. I believe people are looking way too in to the Wright fight. NOBODY has has looked good against Wright, and, what's more, nobody has beat Wright as convincingly. Wright was flat out beat up in the championship rounds of their fight, and gassed at the end.

Joe can say whatever the **** he wants about "Who have you fought", but truth is that Joe Cal was targeting a few guys that Hopkins beat (Wright, Tarver) as a way NOT to fight Hopkins.

Time will tell, but I love Hopkins chances in this fight.

[ElGranLuchador]

i dont see calzaghe losing his 0 to grandpa hopkins

[Truth]

I think Calz will win because Bernard will focus too much of defense.
